Jason Corrigan Looks To Lead Oneonta

Tags:

Jason Corrigan is a 21 year old man and student at SUNY Oneonta. On April 23, he launched his campaign for mayor of Oneonta, becoming the youngest person in the city's history to seek the position.

To date Corrigan has had several articles written about him in the Oneonta Daily Star, Hometown Oneonta, The Albany Times Union, and Utica's NBC affiliate WKTV.

Several internet blogs have popped up touting his community work and service as well as his campaign issues. He is without doubt a capable and serious young man who may join the ranks of six other mayors of small cities who are under the age of thirty.

Corrigan has two videos on youtube that have been getting hits in the hundreds. He is a worthy candidate and possible next mayor of Oneonta New York.

The comment has been submitted for review. Thank you .

I found this searching online and it's amazing that someone at his age generated so much discussion. I know Jason is doing great things today and we are lucky to have had him!
